There are some times when it can be harmful to work out every day. I would broaden your goal a bit, and instead ask "Did I make a choice to be healthier today?" Nice choice of goals though.

We tried it "on our own" in 2008 and failed miserably. We started yesterday with day one... One the workouts, don't set yourself up for failure. I used to weigh 245 lbs, I now weigh 155 and ran a marathon in 2008. Workouts alone won't do it and it you think you can sustain a regime of daily workouts you will feel like a failure within 2 weeks. 3 days a week is plenty, shoot for a high side of 4 per week. However the key to wieght loss is the opposite as that of financial fitness. In finances you want to spend less than you earn, in weight, spend more than you earn. Take in less total calories than you expend, the net result will be a shrinking net worth... Looking forward to reading about the updates...

If you don't read it everyday, you aren't a bad Christian. That's what I've had to realize. I used to get so upset with myself when I didn't do it everyday, because everybody always said, if you love God, you'll want to read every chance you get. Well, I love God, but I don't read it everyday, and I'm not a bad Christian because of it.

Reading a chapter or two a day from the bible everyday is an ongoing goal. Sometimes, I get sidetracked, but I'm working it through. One of my goals is to working on being more consistent with my reading and try doing it first thing in the morning. Good goals!

Your logic makes a lot of sense to me! I think you'll probably still want to set goals for some of the other things, but maybe they would only be weekly or monthly goals or some other time frame. I need to write down my goals for next year as well. Maybe I can do that tomorrow. :) MBH, I think those are two great ideas for year-long goals to track. Your logic makes a lot of sense to me!
